General Data Co (Cincinnati, Ohio)
recently introduced the Personal ID
FoamWrap wristband. The patient identification
wristband, designed for infants,
elderly, and patients with sensitive skin,
is comprised of a unique hypoallergenic
and latex-free foam wristband and direct
thermal label combination. The Personal
ID FoamWrap wristband allows hospitals
to use high-resolution text, bar codes,
and patient photos for positive identification
of patients with frail, delicate, or sensitive
skin. The product is intended for
short-term or outpatient use. The
Personal ID FoamWrap wristbands are
available in 2 versions: a "hook-and-loop"
closure and an adhesive closure. The
"hook-and-loop" closure is attached to
the wristband, and is primarily used for
infants and neonatal patients. This wristband
can be removed and reattached
during medication administration or
bathing without damaging the wristband.
The adhesive version, ideal for
small children and elderly patients, uses
a unique wraparound pressure-sensitive
label that adheres to the outside of the
foam wristband and then to itself for closure.
